I don’t see how that’s pertinent to the issue at hand. There’s a higher standard for the presidency than there is for someone acquiring citizenship.

Folks tend to err on either side.

They either apply the conditions of the presidency to everyone else (which we see here in this thread), or they assume the Presidency requires the exact same thing, (it doesn’t).

Why is this so hard? President requires NBC - which means Born in America over 35 and two citizen parents. Everything else - does not. Cruz doesn’t meet this standard.

When I mentioned Jindal’s name, it was not in relation to his possible run for the Presidency, it was in relation to his being a citizen by birth.

My point was if he did not acquire citizenship at the time of his birth, and he never applied for naturalization, then I don’t know how he qualifies to even be Congressman ( which he was ) or governor ( which he is ).

Being a Natural Born Citizen is another matter altogether.
